Frustrated, I lowered my head and let a few tears stream down my cheeks. “This isn’t how I planned it,” I whispered as I considered how scrambled my plans had become. What was once a clear road to success seemed congested detours, and uncertainty made me question if I’d arrive at all… | More Than…

It’s been a while since I’ve shared something really personal with you. Today, I will be just a little vulnerable. Please be gentle. | Pep Talk: You’re Doing Just Fine | Disclaimer: This may not be a “One size fits all” kind of blog today. Today’s post is inspired by yesterday’s appointment with my new…

This is it. This is the last part of my three-part series on change. If you are behind, go read Don’t Ignore the Change and Necessary Change to catch up. Disclaimer: As I mentioned last week and the week before, the introduction may be a bit lengthy, but please read all of it even if…
